RE: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

Got my first boxycharm a few days ago!It has been a reall...

Got my first boxycharm a few days ago!It has been a really hard week (family medical emergency and dog passed) so I didn't post it when I got it. But I'm SUPER happy! Got the pressed BECCA hightlighter in Prosecco Pop. This alone made the box worth it for me! Tarte lip paint in Get It! which I think I like; it is a little orangey and doesn't match the Jonteblu lip liner in Spice very well. The DLS eye shadow is in Illusion. And, of course the dr. Brandt poreDermabration which I have been wanting to try. I used this first thing and it was amazing!

Re: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

I just got my boxycharm and I'm quite happy with this month box other than the lip stick shade. I got the shade get it and I don't bother swatching it on my lips because I had watched ton of reviews on this shade and it looks washed out. I think I'm going to put it up for swap or give it away to a friend. Have any one noticed there's a lot of dr brant exfoliator in subscription box lately? I already got two from fabfitfun box and this is my third one already. I'm not sure if I can use them all since you're suppose to exfloliate no more than 2 times a week. But this will be handy in the winter since I have dry flaky skin. I don't mind another highlighter but this one is a bit too golden for me and i will wear it next summer I guess. What are your thoughts on this month boxycharm?

Re: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

1. Tony Moly Peach Hand Cream - I love this stuff - I have some in a little peach jar, so I may just use this to refill that little container. 2. Nail Medic Charcoal Infused Nail Polish in Volcanic Ash - I am intrigued - can't wait to try it!3. Skinvolve Phoenician Secret Scrub - Super excited to try this, too!4. Hey Honey Active Propolis Concealer - Not a huge fan of this brand, but I'll give it a try5. Smashbox Photo Finish Lid Primer - I hate Smashbox Primers, but can't recall if I've tried their eye primers, so I will give this a try

Re: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

I'm not super thrilled with this variation, but the Dr Brandt alone is worth more than the cost of the box, so I'm happy. The lip paint is xoxo, which is very red on me even though it looks orange in the pic.

Re: Another November BoxyCharm Spoiler

I'm definitely in the minority when I say I actually preferred getting a face product this month rather than eyeshadow. But I am in love with the eyebrow pencil we received from winky luxe a few months ago so I'll keep an open mind!
